Being Mean
To: Bash
From: Crecente
Re: What I Look Like When I Use The Computer
Despite what you see in this video, being mean doesn't really come natural to me. Sure among friends, especially while playing video games, I can be a real asshat at times, but it's all in good fun and I never get actually angry or anything. I'm just not that competitive with other people. So doing this weekend's video with Adam and folks was awkward. I actually went and apologised to Mario, a non-Nintendo Mario BTW, after we filmed his segment. I actually apologised twice. Granted I was WAY worse to him than what you saw, I actually berated him for a good 45 seconds and Adam just picked the best bit. The whole time Mario just slowly, slightly, bobbed up and down in his chair with a small smile, and a bit of a confused look on his face. It was like yelling at a baby. :(

More videos of Brian being mean please.
This should be a regular feature on the site cause well, it was hilarious.
@dead_red_eyes: Yea, that is the funniest damn thing I have heard in a long time. He was so nice when he said it, really looked like you meant it.
Please record more of these things at conventions etc etc

It's ok. We knew it was all in fun.

@Brian Crecente:
I thought the video was hilarious B.C., and I could tell that it's not often that you "talk shit". The following line TORE my sides apart from laughing:
B.C. - "You lost to Brian, so you know, that's okay"
Guy - "I have no idea who you are"
B.C. - "Yeah, I'm sure"

I'm never mean, but I can get competitive. Not like bumping into you but some old-fashioned trash talk.

My Greatest Moment of Trash Talk:
Friend:"How did I not kill you?"
Me:"Because I'm a weeble, bitch. And weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."

i think that Tristan was disapointed in you, and now you are trying to show him that is not kool to be mean to others.

@doubtful: The only thing MORE fun then yelling at them is punching them! You should try it sometime. VERY theraputic....
****please note: the previous comment was a joke and niether I nor the fine people of Kotaku condone the act of "punching babies".****
Mr.SithNinja
I'm similar. I have trouble insulting and trash talking people I don't know well. Friends, well, its open season, even though I usually end up apologizing immediately afterwards.
"You suck! Just kidding, I'm sorry..."
The only game I've ever blatantly insulted random people in was Halo. Theres something about that game that makes me angry. That's why I stopped playing after two weeks. I shall not allow myself to get lowered to the level a foul-mouthed twelve years old.

@doubtful: Or like openly hating your friend's children...
Children are great reasons to not be friends with people....
Tristan and Minibash aren't children, though... They're gaming prophets.

"I can be a real asshat at times, but it's all in good fun and I never get actually angry or anything. I'm just not that competitive with other people."
That sounds EXACTLY like me.

@Brian Crecente: It's all a lie? Is that just a cover-up for you losing to Mini-Crecente?
That's what I thought.

It was like yelling at a baby.
Soooo, it was indescribably fun? :)
Damn babies.

It's a cruel world out there, that fake Mario could of gotten worse from some other non famous person.

@Meuacan: I know, it's horrible being me :( It's become so bad that everybody I add as a friend on Kotaku just disappears out of random!
So, yer....I might add you later on....might not....depends on my mood :D
Candlejack
Hey, at least you apologized. If not, he may have been scarred for life. People would find him rocking back and forth, wearing a bedraggled Mario costume and clutching a Wii wheel.
I wouldn't have been able to look them in the face afterwards, let alone say I'm sorry, lol.

Pshaww.
If you don't like being mean, then why the fuck do you constantly remind the rest of us that you not only have one of the best jobs going, but a fantatsic homelife as well?
Shit, it's not enough to boast at your gaming prowess, you have to fucking rub our noses in the fact that your sperm produced that great looking kid?
Don't tell me you don't like being mean, what you really meant to say is that you often confuse the words 'mean' and 'modest'.

@Candlejack: Well, how can you have friends when no one can say your name?
I mean, who wants to be friends with Candlejack?
I mean what the--

@Brian Crecente: I say its his own fault. A well placed "Itsa me Mario" durring your 45 second verbal beating woulda turned the tables.
Rabidsquirrel
Heh. That is pretty funny.
To be honest, I've been called a cunt, twat and all sorts of things when playing competitively as well. People don't take too lightly on a good old bashing in CS or VF5, let alone Street Fighter - especially when you're boasting about how good you are and how they suck :D I beat all my friends in any game actually.
Yea, I don't have many friends :(
Candlejack
Being an asshole just comes naturally to me. I guess it's more nurture than nature.
Meuacan
@GUNDAM-RX-78-2: lol, that was adam's friend. It's all a lie. A LIE!!!
Brian Crecente
those poor people you should be ashamed
invictus2006
What if he was a Kommentor here on Kotaku?!?
He could have been all 'zomg Its Brian Crecente!'
and then you were all 'OH YEAH' (not in the kool-aid man kind of way either)
poor fake Mario, but screw the other guy he didnt even know who you were!
